speaking at the un general assembly before the vote foreign minister lavrov said the world is now malta polar and there is no place for unilateral action against other states without collective approval it's in contrast to president obama's theory of american exceptionalism which he to fan it on the same stage a few days before no one discussed that was geopolitical analyst eric draitser let's first of all listen to what a bomb had to say at the u.n. general assembly if we would before i believe america must work for our own security but i also believe the world is better for some may disagree. but i believe america is exceptional. in part because we have shown a willingness through the sacrifice of blood and treasure to stand up not only for our own narrow self-interest but for the interests of all well obama says the u.s. has quote a responsibility to act but of course it begs the question does not guarantee it's always going to responsibly think that we should be very cautious about this so called american exceptionalism what obama is asserting is a longstanding principle not only wi
